Self Catering Holiday Cottage in Mousehole
SLEEPS 5 + COT

A traditional millhouse cottage dating back to 1760 in the heart of
this unspoilt Cornish village!

Situated on the west coast of Cornwall, Mousehole (pronounced mowzel) is an enchanting fishing village with narrow twisting streets, stone-built cottages that tumble down to a picturesque little harbour, a small safe beach and a diverse mix of shops, galleries and restaurants.

Just yards from the harbour is the 18th century Millhouse Cottage, which captures all the charm of the village. Available to rent by the week, it's an idyllic choice for a long leisurely holiday or a short break at any time of the year.

ACCOMMODATION

The Millhouse is a charming 3-bedroom Grade II listed granite and slate 18th century cottage in the heart of Mousehole.

Located just yards from the old quayside and with easy access to a spectacular coastal cliff top path, the comfortable cottage sleeps five people and is generously equipped with all modern conveniences.

Comfort and Care

Attention to detail is everywhere, from a traditional welcome of Cornish cream tea and flowers to provision of towels and individually wrapped soaps. The discerningly furnished lounge has a stable door to let the summer sunshine flood in and a wood-burning fire for cosy winter evenings. Original beams salvaged from a local shipwreck and a large brass propeller add to the character, and upstairs the main bedroom has traditional low windows with exposed beams and sloping ceilings.

The cottage also has its own garage and drive - a rarity for Mousehole - and a pretty rear cobbled courtyard teeming with mimosa, camellias and roses.

Lounge/diner, fully equipped modern kitchen, cloakroom with washbasin.

Upstairs:
Bedroom 1 with king size bed, bedroom 2 with twin beds, bedroom 3 with single bed. Cot provided. Bathroom with bath, shower, WC and washbasin.

MOUSEHOLE

Tucked into a beautiful setting along Cornwall's west coast, three miles westward around Mounts Bay from Penzance, picturesque Mousehole retains all the wonderful original character and charm of a traditional fishing village.

Granite-built cottages cluster round a protected harbour used by both working boats and visiting pleasure craft. The harbour itself has a safe, sheltered beach ideal for families with small children, and the narrow streets are full of small shops, galleries and restaurants. A famous wild bird hospital overlooks the village, where many thousands of birds - especially sea birds - have been saved during the 80 years or so since it opened.

St Clement's Isle lies just offshore outside the harbour - a rocky little islet said to have once been the home of an ancient hermit - and a few hundred yards along the coast from the village is a huge cave that some say is where the village's 'mouse hole' name originated.

A coastal path with spectacular scenery runs from Mousehole to Lamorna - one of Cornwall's loveliest coves - and more cliff top walks and sandy beaches. Penzance and the famous St Michael's Mount are just a few miles away.
